Image Info

One of three observation posts used during the cold war in the 1950s in Scarborough. This building was behind the old State Police barracks heading north on Route 1, now the Parker Tilton Company. People would work in two or four hour shifts to watch for enemy aircraft then relay the information in code. The operation was under the Civil Defense.
